Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct 3

Notes

In this release we've continued to improve the Timelines feature. This includes the ability to play timelines with different instances using the new Set instance action in the Timeline plugin; support for the Z elevation property; and making the 'Play' actions asynchronous actions so they can be used with the system Wait for previous actions to complete action.

We've also continued work on the Scripting feature. There are now adjustments to the way editor coding works as well as improved handling of autocomplete and built-in variables, as well as a range of new scripting interfaces to control more of the built-in plugins from script. The plugin interfaces documentation in the scripting section of the manual will be updated to cover these shortly.

On top of that there's also a variety of other changes and tweaks, and as usual a batch of bug fixes. We're now back after a short break so our regular update schedule should now resume, so stay tuned for more updates!

  • Hi there, I found a bug with ease behavior. When I use One Parameter Easing, Color property (rgba255 or rgbex255). When my function using this feature is called, the game is crashing.

    Thanks for all your works Construct is amazing ;)

      I tried this very quickly to see if it was an easy fix, but I couldn't find anything wrong.

      Can you file a bug?

      You can do it in github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues

      Make sure to follow the guidelines and include step by step instructions on how to trigger the crash. This is the fastest way to get the problem solved.

  • Hi there,

    Do you have an update on the iPhone X screen problem when exporting to Cordova?
